Thank you for review. > Your debian/changelog file is actually missing the entry of the last > upload (1.8.3-14), please incorporate it. That version already included > a few of your changes, plus there is a patch for bug #774394 which your > package seems to be missing. My bad. I should put 'apt-get update' into cron. > > * New maintainer (Closes: #826639) > Please send a message to that bug that you would like to adopt the > package, and retitle the bug accordingly. Sent it. Seems I can't include control into message to 826...@bugs.debian.org > > * New upstream release > Closes: #682239 > Probably there are a few other bugs which are fixed by the new upstream > release, e.g. #340479 - since version 1.9, gdbm has large file support. > Please take a look at them, there are not too many. I considered some of them. Other require more prolonged experimentation on my side and communication with upstream. I am not aganist to defer them to -2 revision. > > * Update debian/watch > > - use HTTP over FTP protocol.
